Hi all,
Im sick of paying 17 for a 5gal fermenter (rip off in my opinion). So i found another option....
Any food grade plastic container will do the job, so i was walking past my local curry house after having a few at the local and noticed these big black handled barrels, labeled 'Mango chutney'. They were empty and being thrown out, so i fleeced em!
Ever since i've been on the lookout for where to find free fementers...... SOOOOO many places! the best I found are (and places if your are in London):
1- Indian restaurants - old mango chutney bins (best one is the Bombay bicylce on kingston rd, wimbledon)
2 - Greek restaurants - old olive bins and fetta buckets (the fetta buckets are smaller than 5 gal though)
3 - Food markets - especially near the olive and cheese stalls (best is borough market in inner london).
I saw some 220L olive bins at the markets the other day, shame i was with my gf and she wasn't keen on my carrying these bins back on the tube
Im peeved i've spent 51 on plastic buckets when they have been asking me to save them from the trash heap!
Anyone else got any places for any free gear?
Cheers
